kinds of fish contain different
amounts of fat?
A. Yes. Different species of
fish possess variable proportions
of fish oil. The oil content of
fish may range from only a few
tenths of a percent up to twen
ty percent or more. Some fish
।of the oily species containing
from six to twenty percent or
more oil are Sea Herring, Mac
kerel, Sardines, Smelt, canned
Tuna, King Salmon, medium
red Salmon and Sockeye Sal
mon (red). Those sea foods
which contain from two to six
percent oil are Bass, Carp,
Crab, Oysters, Shrimp, pink
Salmon, Chum Salmon and
Buffalo fish. The non-oily
species or those containing less
than two percent oil are Clams,
Cod, Haddock, Halibut, Lob
ster, Mullet, Ocean Perch, Lake
Pike, Lake Perch, Pollock,
Rockfish, Scallops, Sole, Flo
under and Whiting.
Q. It is difficult for me to
judge freshness when buying
whole fish. Do you have any
suggestions or buying tips for
fresh fish?
A. In selecting whole fresh
fish, look for bright, clear,'
bulging eyes. The gills of fresh
fish are reddish pink and are
free from slime or odor. An
other indication of freshness in
fish is firm, elastic flesh which
springs back when pressed.
Q. When buying whole fish,
how much should I buy for a
family of six?
A. A serving of fish is gen
erally one-third to one-half
pound of edible flesh. There
fore, whole fish allow about
one pound per person. For
dressed fish allow one-half
pound per person or three
pounds for six people. For
steaks, fillets or sticks allow
one-third pound per person or
two pounds for six people.
Q. Do you have any suggest
ions for judging quality in
frozen fish?
A. Select frozen fish which
has solidly frozen flesh with
no browning or discoloration
and little or no odor. Also, ex
amine the package, avoiding
pacages which show damage.
Q. I'm thinking of buyer a
beef carcass to package for the
freezer. What percentage of
this can I expect to be steaks 7
Ground beef?
A. You can usually expect
the following yields: about
one- forth of the carcass will
yield steaks, another fourth
will be roasts and one-fourth
will be ground beef and stew
meat. The final fourth is waste.
Q. How does the amount sp
ent for food in 1962 compare
with previous years?
A. In 1962, Americans spent
about four percent more on
food than last year. Reasons for
this are (1) an upgraded diet
and the use of more marketing
services, (2) more people and
THE COVINGTON NEWS
(3) one percent higher food
prices.
Q. It has been said that the
increase in population creates
demand for more food. Do you
have any information concern
ing this?
A. It is estimated that each
baby born in the United States
will consume an estimated
2,000 dozen eggs, 17,500 quarts
of milk, 12,000 pounds of meat,
fish and poultry and about
13,250 pounds of breads and
cereals during his or her life
time. At present there are
about four million births annu
ally with a predicted increase
of two million by 1975. An in
crease of two million births
mean an estimated increased
consumption of the following
during their lifetimes: 67 bil
lion pounds of vegetables and
fruits, 35 billion quarts of milk,
24 billion pounds of meat, fish,
and poultry, over 26 billion
pounds of bread and cereals
and four billion dozen eggs.

lanta 3, Ga.)
Q. What is the outlook for
canned and frozen vegetables
in 1963?
A. According to fruit and
vegetable specialists in the U.
S. Department of Agriculture,
there were record or near-rec
ord supplies of many canned
and frozen items on January 1,
1963. There was a record high
supply of canned corn. Canned
tomatoes were in largest sup
ply since World War II and
supplies of other tomato pro
ducts, including catsup and
juice, were heavy. The supply
of canned and frozen green
beans was the second largest
on record. Frozen Lima beans
and sweet corn supplies were
also large. There were 224 mil
lion pounds of frozen French
fries on hand.
Q. Are more fruits frozen or
canned today?
A. More than half of the pro
cessed non-citrus fruits eaten
by Americans last year were
canned. A fifth of this fruit
was frozen, another fifth was
dried, and the rest was canned.
These figures on a fresh fruit
equivalent basis were released
by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
Q. Do you know a quick and
easy way to compare the costs
of fresh and canned mush
rooms?
A. If the price of a four
ounce can is one-third that of
a pound of fresh mushrooms,
the canned and fresh are eual
ly good buys. This is based on
the fact that one pound of
fresh whole mushrooms yields
about six servings and a four
ounce can of whole mushrooms
yields two servings.

Camp Is for Boys

Sure, the boy will be down there

Magazine Gives
Vaccine Checklist
For Adults
Vaccination shots and boo
sters given to children don’t
last forever, as many people
seem to think. Changing Times,
the Kiplinger Magazine, in its
current issue includes this
checklist for up-to-date pro
tection for adults.
—Tetanus. Immunity lasts
three to five years and every
one should get a booster that
often.
—Smallpox. Immunity lasts
about three years. Revaccin
ation is neccessary for travel
abroad and desirable in other
special circumstances.
—Diphtheria. Booster shots
recommended every three to
four years.
—Polio. The length of imm
unity is not known. At the very
least, get a booster one year
after the first series of shots
and consult your doctor about
needs in later years.
—lnfluenza. When an epid
emic is due — or better yet, j
routinely each fall — get the
flu vaccination recommended
by your doctor.
—Whooping cough. Adults
don’t ordinarily need immuni
zation against pertussis if a full
course of shots and boosters
were taken in childhood. Ot
herwise, it’s not too late to
start.
Three more, for foreign tra
velers, are: yellow fever —a
shot every six years for travel
in areas where it is prevalent;
typhoid fever — an annual
booster after a primary course
of three inoculations; typhus
—a booster every four years
after a primary course of two
inoculations.

ture. What you would think of as
a chore, he looks on as fun.
What he wants is to go to camp,
and Bert Adams is that land of
adventure for him. Bert Adams is
the place where he can and will
learn self-reliance, where he can
and will learn what duty means,
where he can and will learn to
put his Scout lore to use, where he
can and probably will be homesick
once, sunburnt once, snake
scared once, and once, at the
end of his time at camp, return
home nearer a man.
The fish are biting at Bert
Adams. The swimming pools are
waiting. Even the mules are long
ing — if a mule can long any
thing other than his ears —for
the return of the boys.
You didn’t know about the
mules? Boys raised in Atlanta
sometimes get grown without see
ing one of the long-eared limbs of
Satan unless they go to Bert
Adams. At the camp there are
two mules who pull wagons on
treks down country roads — and
today that’s classed as fun.
There are knots to be tied at
Bert Adams. Oh, sure, knots are
tied in Scout huts all across the
land, but at Bert Adams the
chances are the knots may tie
something to something — and
that's the difference.
There are dusty country roads,
and there are mud holes where a
boy can walk barefooted and feel
the mud squish up between his
toes.
Did you know that some boys
have never felt mud squish up be
tween their toes?
And there are frogs to be heard
making their 10-gallon noises from
their pint-sized bodies, and there
are boys in Atlanta who have
never heard a bullfrog croak un
til they go to camp.
And birds to look at. chipmunks
to skitter away from woods walk
ers, whipporwills to lonely cry in
the night and even screeh owls to
goose-pimple the younger boys at
midnight with their wavering
cries.
The camping starts
June 16 at Bert Adams, and it’s
time for Scouters and others in
terested in Scouting to be making
their plans. . . and their reserva
tions.
Who knows? The boy may bring
home a nice garter snake for a
pet!
WHERE THEY COME FROM
One of the most common areas
for termites to enter a home is
from dirt-filled areas under a
concrete slab floor, stoop, porch or
carport. So say Extension Service
Entomologist Rodney Coleman of
the University of Georgia.

DID YOU KNOW THAT there are 600.000 Bell System
telephone booths in the United States? They’re placed for
your convenience everywhere from stores to railway sta
tions! The supplier, Western Electric, put its first stand
ard phone booth on the market in 1882, and now annually
provides associated companies with 27,000 new booths
of various types. The busiest phone booth in the world is
probably the one in the main concourse of New York’s
Grand Central Station. In one 12-hour observation period
it was never unoccupied longer than two minutes!
